4.The following is a part of an interview about the London Cycle Hire Scheme.
Yang Li:Mr.Boris,as Mayor of London,what's your purpose of launching this scheme?
Boris Johnson:I want to get people out of their cars onto bicycles Because I think we have far too many people,who waste time sitting in traffic jams,going mad and bending their steering wheels hen they should d be on a beautiful new bike like this cycling in lovely London weather across very flat roads in great safety and enjoying the open air.
Yang Li:London is a big in durational city with thousands of visitors pouring in every day.I wonder whether they are tempted(动心的)by a bicycle ride in London.Let's find out what people think of the scheme,and what the advantages and disadvantages are?What's your name and where are you from?
Cyclist 1:I'm Parcel from California.I think the Mayor's scheme to introduce the cycles into London is a fantastic incentive(动机)for people of all ages from different countries.Apart from promoting fitness and health,it's a fantastic means to travel across London.
Cyclist 2:I'm William.Sure it's a great scheme; it's good for the environment,saves money and reduces traffic.
Yang Li:Would you show me how to start it?
William:Yes,you just take the key and where it says membership key just press it in and wait for the green light,you should see a green light come on…there we go,now you need to pull the bike quite hard.There we are,and that's it.
Cyclist 3:I am Ken.I found it great.It's faster than walking.It saves me time and it keeps me fit.
Yang Li:Ok.Any disadvantages?
Ken:There often isn't anywhere to park the bicycle when you've finished with it so you have to ride further than you want to.
Yang Li:Right.Would you recommend more people using it?
Ken:I certainly would,the more the merrier.
